> What do you mean by "intentionally break" with servers that don't support it? UNIX servers return a 404 Not found error because they use the whole thing as the filename. Other servers will return either that, or some other error message. In other words, it will be made clear to the client that the server doesn't understand byte range requests. So I don't want servers to possibly ignore the ;byterange=... part and still return the entire document. I want them to either service the byterange request, or give an error.
